While the government has allowed schools to conduct classes on campus at full capacity, students in government schools Dakshina Kannada, who have already lost more than a year to Covid-19, are now facing a shortage of teachers.
The Public Education Department says the district needs about 1,091 guest teachers in lower and upper primary schools. While there is a total requirement of 181 guest faculty in high schools, only 109 vacancies have been filled so far.
“The hands of the regular staff are full as they have to look after the mid-day meal planning and other clerical work apart from conducting classes,” said Prakash Anchan, who is the head of Sarkari Shale Ulisi Belesi (Protect and Promote Government School). they have also adopted Daddalkad Upgraded Government School In Bantwal.
“When there is a shortage of hands, academics have to suffer,” he said. “The schools which have less permanent teachers are managed entirely by guest faculty. However, the delay in the appointment of staff is hampering the education of children, especially in government schools. This year the admissions in government schools have also increased and this is a good time to strengthen these schools and retain the students.
A teacher said that around 10 schools in the district have been marked as ‘zero schools’, which means they do not have any permanent teaching staff. Faculty of nearby schools conduct classes. “Despite all these shortcomings, we are trying our best to ensure quality education in government schools. The state government should give priority to the appointment of guest teachers and fill up the vacant posts at the earliest.
Malleswamy, Deputy Director of Public Instruction, DK, Recruitment School is shorthand. He said his office has sent a proposal to the government and they are awaiting approval. A source said that Primary Education Minister BC Nagesh had said that he had already instructed DDPI to recruit guest faculty. Nagesh could not be reached for comment.
In the meantime, CD JayannaThe Deputy Director of PU Education said that they have sanctioned 142 guest teachers for PU colleges in Dakshina Kannada.
